0 is real and people discount it a bit too much, 2 is kind of imagined. Every language has its jargon that is alien (for example in C++ RAII, SFINAE, "rule of 5" "move constructor" etc). Rust does borrow some language from other ecosystems but I don't think it's fair to say it's a problem or used to "project a coolness level." Jargon is used to describe specific technical details, it always sucks but it's also necessary. If you don't understand it then circle back to the 0th problem, which is the learning curve. As for problem 1 (and I say this as a professional rust developer and shill), it's extremely serious and people in the ecosystem do not seem to care enough about solving it. You can steal login credentials and SSH keys by typosquatting today, and all a user needs to do is open an editor. I get why the solutions pitched are not implemented, but it's troubling that major companies are investing into the ecosystem and consuming from it but not securing it.
